[dotTech Giveaway] 5 free copies of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine!

October 5, 2011 357 Email article | Print article

Earlier this week dotTech reviewed Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine. In the review we promised we would be giving away copies of the game for free. Well here we are. Thanks to IntKeys, a Swiss-based online retailer of video games that sells games at highly discounted prices, dotTech has five copies of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine to give away for free!

Before I go into the details of this giveaway, since IntKeys is the sponsor for this particular giveaway it is only fair we give them a little plug. As already mentioned, IntKeys is a Switzerland-based company that sells computer video games online at highly discounted prices, e.g. they are selling Rage for $34.99 [regular price is $59.99]. You may be wondering how they do this. It works like this. First and foremost you purchase legitimate copies of games from them, but they only provide you with the relevant CD key for the game as opposed to shipping you the game box and actual CD. This cuts down on costs. Secondly, and more importantly, IntKeys utilizes the different region prices to their advantage. You may or may not know this, but different regions in the world have different pricing for games. For example, a game in the USA may cost $59.99 but the exact same game may cost $29.99 in Russia. Both are legitimate copies; the different prices result from price discrimination practiced by game producers to earn higher profits. IntKeys buys games from regions in which they cost less and sells them at a discounted price online. So, sticking with the example we already have, IntKeys may buy the game from Russia for $29.99 then sell it online for $39.99. They earn $10 on the sale and customers save $20 off retail price. A win-win, no? Visit IntKeys.com if you are interested to learn more. If you end up purchasing, be sure to use the coupon code a45dottech4 for an additional 5% off.

    1) A few per month, anything that looks interesting and is part of steam’s daily deal/midweek madness/weekend deal, or new releases that look interesting, as long as they’re relatively cheap (most often indie games)

    1. Yes, I don’t pirate games. I buy them only on Steam (ok, there are some indie games exceptions like Humble Indie Bundle or Bullet Candy Perfect). I buy games when I have money and I want some game, so sometimes 5 in a month, sometimes only one. I play the most indie games, because I want to support developers which are proud to make it and not like “give us your money and we’ll give you crap game, give more and we’ll give you DLCs we already done before release”.
